Great News, the Nobility has stepped up and informed the office we now have 12 new petitions. Therefore we are proceeding with arrangements to hold a Fall Ceremonial November 8th. Thank you to those Nobles who stepped up and obtained candidates. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. It takes all of us to obtain new members and retain those we already have.
On September 6th we held our Second Annual Sportsman
Raffle. What a day! Our preliminary estimate of
the number attending is in the neighborhood of 2300
people. This year’s event had some new games. The
duck pond offering a chance to win up to an arm/body
length of tickets for a chance at a rifle and the corn hole
contest which allowed contestants to win tickets for a
cross bow. Another special event this year was archery
tag and target shooting. All three events allowed our
guest the opportunity to have some fun while listening
to the announcer call out the raffle winners.
The clubs and units came through with mini raffles
of their own, 20 tables in all raffling everything from
a cordless drill, cash, smoker, antique rifle, ”Green
Egg Grill”, crossbow, Henry rifle and fishing trip to
a gun safe large enough to keep your winnings in.
The day was a great success and great big Thank You
goes to everyone who helped put this event on. Make
your plans now, 2015’s Sportsman Raffle is Saturday
September 12th, 2015.
We will let everyone know how financially successful
this year’s event was once we have all receipts and
expenditures in and an audit is completed, no later than
the November Stated Meeting.
September 15th was a landmark day for Mizpah as
we finally closed on the sale of Berry Street and the
old Circus Ticket Office. The liabilities of owning two
buildings have come to an end. We can look forward to
conducting ceremony and business in our new building
without having to worry about the extra cost associated
with Berry Street. For those who haven’t done the
math, Mizpah has been on Berry Street for 105 years.
We will miss it but can look forward to spending the
next 100 years on Memorial Way.
Thank you to all who helped with the clean out and
moving to our new home. Your efforts were (are)
greatly appreciated by the entire Divan. We couldn’t
have done it without you.
Some upcoming dates to remember; October 1st Stated
Meeting, on the 11th we will be holding a screening
clinic at Parkview Hospital North, Ladies Fall Market
Place will be held on Saturday the 18th, with Line
Dancing for everyone scheduled for November 21st.
All the above events have detailed ads in this issue of
the Allah Bi please look to them for times.
Remember the Fall Ceremonial is on and scheduled for
November 8th and elections are Friday December 5th.
